I regularly attend the Bloomfield Road Ground for non football meetings; those that have been to Bloomfield Road recently might agree that should there be a similar development in Accrington the club could only benefit beyond our wildest dreams. I think the key to the future now is in how the town responds to developing the ground. HBC and the Club need to be focusing on the ground now, you’ve got a talented team and a good manager, sort the ground out and the crowds will follow.
I would also suggest that a discounted gate for the winter months with plenty of hot drinks and grub available at reasonable prices will swill the numbers. Accrington Stanley is now a business, treat it like one and all of us will benefit.

You have got to look on the positives. I actually like the ground how it is, ok if it rains and your on the terraces you get wet but we're northerners we can take it. We do have possibly the worst ground in the league but this is an advantage in my eyes as other so called bigger teams won't like coming here. A perminant bar at the back of the Clayton End would be appreciated though. As for the low gates, lets see how many come to the Forest game, most clubs moan about low attendances for televised games but for some reason our gates double???
